Individuals with signs of anemia: persistent fatigue, lightheadedness, dizziness, pallor, etc.
Individuals with poor nutritional intake, especially iron
Individuals with hematologic disorders: bleeding disorders, leukemia, etc.
Individuals with a family history of hematologic diseases
Women of reproductive age (25 - 30 years of age)

The Anemia Screening Panel provides a comprehensive evaluation of red blood cell quantity, morphology and erythropoietic status, to support the early detection of anemia, identify its underlying cause and guide appropriate treatment, avoiding unnecessary or inappropriate supplementation with iron or vitamins.

Nutritional anemia is one of the most common forms of anemia and can often be detected early through a combination of laboratory findings and clinical symptoms, aiding in preventing complications such as neurological impairment and cognitive dysfunction.

In many cases, the panel also helps differentiate nutritional anemia from other causes of anemia, including anemia of chronic inflammation, anemia associated with heavy menstrual bleeding, and other acquired conditions with the possibility of causing anemia.

Basic Panel: Recommended for individuals undergoing routine wellness checkups or those receiving an initial evaluation for anemia with a focus on identifying common forms of nutritional anemia.

Advanced Panel: Provides the same core assessment as the Basic Panel while expanding the evaluation to include inherited causes of anemia, disorders of iron metabolism and other acquired conditions.

Complete Blood Count (CBC)*

274.000 đ

A complete blood count is a test for screening various diseases like anemia, leukemia, platelets disorders and inflammatory processes

Ferritin [Serum]

139.000 đ

This test is crucial for diagnosing and managing conditions related to iron metabolism and storage.

Iron (Fe) [Serum]

61.000 đ

This test helps in identifying iron deficiency anemia or iron overload conditions

Vitamin B12 [Serum]

173.000 đ

This test is primarily used to diagnose vitamin B12 deficiency, which can lead to megaloblastic anemia and neurological problems (such as numbness, weakness, and memory issues).

Folate (Folic Acid/Vitamin B9) [Serum]

190.000 đ

This test is primarily used to diagnose folate deficiency, which can lead to megaloblastic anemia and neural tube defects or anencephaly during pregnancy

Transferrin [Serum]

68.000 đ

Transferrin may be used along with other iron tests to assess the amount of iron circulating in the blood, the total capacity of the blood to transport iron, and the amount of stored iron in the body.

Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC)

A total iron-binding capacity (TIBC) test measures the blood's ability to attach itself to iron and transport it around the body.

Reticulocytes

104.000 đ

A reticulocyte count measures the number of immature red blood cells (reticulocytes) in the peripheral blood, reflecting bone marrow activity and helping to determine if RBC production is elevated due to conditions such as inflammation, bleeding, or hemolytic anemia.

Hemoglobin Electrophoresis

570.000 đ

This test plays a crucial role in diagnosing hemoglobinopathies, such as sickle cell anemia, thalassemia, and other abnormal hemoglobin variants

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What are the signs of anemia?

Common signs of anemia include:

Persistent fatigue.
Pallor.
Headache, dizziness, lightheadedness.
Palpitations.
Reduced physical endurance.
Brittle or fragile nails.
Excessive hair loss.

However, mild anemia may not produce noticeable symptoms. Therefore, laboratory testing remains the most reliable method for early detection and evaluation of anemia.

2. Can the Anemia Screening Panel identify all causes of anemia?

No. The panel is designed to identify the most common causes of anemia, including iron deficiency, vitamin B12 deficiency, folate deficiency, selected disorders of iron metabolism, and hemoglobinopathies such as thalassemia.

However, anemia may also result from chronic kidney disease, liver disease, autoimmune disorders, hemorrhage, bone marrow disorders, or cancers. You may need additional testing to identify the cause.

3. Can the Anemia Screening Panel detect inherited hemolytic disorders?

Partially. This panel can help identify certain common inherited hemoglobin disorders, including thalassemia and hemoglobin E disease.

However, it does not detect all inherited hemolytic disorders, such as glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency or hereditary spherocytosis. These conditions require genetic testing for accurate diagnosis.

4. Should women planning pregnancy undergo anemia screening?

Yes. Women planning to become pregnant are encouraged to undergo anemia screening and assessment of their iron, vitamin B12 and vitamin B9 status before conception. Identifying nutritional deficiencies before pregnancy can help reduce the risk of maternal anemia, support a healthy pregnancy, as well as promote optimal fetal growth and development.

5. Which micronutrient deficiencies can lead to nutritional anemia?

The three most important micronutrient deficiencies associated with nutritional anemia are:

Iron deficiency: Reduces the body’s ability to produce hemoglobin. Iron deficiency is the most common cause of anemia, particularly in children, women of reproductive age (25 – 30 years of age) and pregnant women.
Vitamin B12 deficiency: Causes megaloblastic anemia and may also result in neurological complications.
Vitamin B9 deficiency: Impairs red blood cell production, leading to megaloblastic anemia.
